Gatchalian challenges Guo to DNA test over nationality claims

Senator Sherwin Gatchalian challenged Bamban Mayor Alice Guo to undergo DNA testing to prove her nationality and refute allegations that Chinese national Wen Yi Lin is her biological mother.

Guo denied the claims, stating in a letter to Senator Risa Hontiveros that Amelia Leal is her documented mother, while acknowledging that Lin Wen Yi is involved with their family's companies but not her biological parent.

The Philippine Statistics Authority confirmed there are no birth records for either of Mayor Guo's parents, raising questions about the legitimacy of her birth certificate.

Senator Gatchalian emphasized the importance of verifying the authenticity of Guo's birth certificate and related documents to uncover any irregularities.

On Monday, the Office of the Ombudsman suspended Guo along with two other municipal officials following a complaint filed by the Department of the Interior and Local Government over the issuance of a business license to Hongsheng Gaming Technology Incorporated.

Guo is currently under Senate investigation for her alleged involvement in operations of Zun Yuan Technology Incorporated, a POGO entity raided by police and military in March.
